Simpson²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Spencer| T: E Walker| OR: 80| BF| CD

2/1

C&D winner who possibly found the ground too soft when beaten favourite at Yarmouth last time out. Beat Go Now Go Now prior to that and has to be considered on that form.

Form: 23513

Paint¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 78| D

4/1

Far from disgraced at Newmarket last time when attempting to deal with a 6lb increase in the weights following victory in a minor event at Bath. Still seems progressive and may well be capable of scoring in an event of this nature.

Form: 03413

Motown Mick²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T J Murphy| T: R Hannon| OR: 75

7/1

Off the mark at Chepstow last time and steps up in trip here to try and double up. Goes up 5lb but completely unexposed from a handicap perspective and is proven on the ground.

Form: 8541

Livingstones Quest³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: William Carson| T: B R Millman| OR: 74

16/1

Well beaten on handicap debut at Sandown last time out and is difficult to fancy off only 1lb lower, despite showing promise in maiden/novice contests.

Form: 0218

Shaherezada³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: C G Cox| OR: 73

7/2

Has progressed through three novice/maiden events so far and looks has potential off this opening mark if continuing that improvement. Should stay this far now stepping up in trip.

Form: 573

Go Now Go Now²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 73| BF

10/1

May have blown his chance at the start when finishing last at Salisbury last time despite having been sent off favourite. A line can be drawn through that form in all likelihood and better can be expected here.

Form: 241126

Berkshire Royal³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 66

10/1

Never involved in three maiden/novice races and looks liable to struggle off his opening handicap mark. Others hold more convincing claims.

Form: 865

Forecasts

Simpson (2/1), Shaherezada (7/2), Paint (4/1), Motown Mick (7/1), Go Now Go Now (10/1), Berkshire Royal (10/1), Jack Regan (14/1), Livingstones Quest (16/1)

It may be worth giving GO NOW GO NOW another chance after he blew his chance at the start at Salisbury last time out. Mark Johnston's colt's form looks solid other than that blip, which may well end up having been a one-off. Paint seems highly progressive and rates the main danger to the selection, while Simpson can bounce back from a slightly disappointing effort last time out back on a likely sounder surface.
